The last day at Sportsnet… was sad. The week passed by EXTREMELY quickly and I wish I was staying for a bit longer. I spent the day in the web department and watched people putting articles together. It was cool to see the whole process, as web writing is so timely. They got a call [...]

Sportsnet: Day 4

Day 4 at Sportsnet was pretty short, to be honest, because I had my Political Science midterm this morning. I got into the office at around 1:30 and left at 5 – but while I was there it was definitely interesting. I got to sit in the main control booth while the producer, director and [...]

Awesome. Really, awesome. I don’t have any other words to really describe it, so I’ll stick with awesome. The day started off at 3:45 – I met up with the two Sportsnet PR guys at the Rogers Center, got my press pass, and we went out onto the field.
Basically stood around for two hours, to [...]
Sportsnet – Day 2

Day two at Sportsnet was similar to day one, although it was a little more relaxed, and I couldn’t help but feel that I had little to do. I started my day at 10:30 and sat in on a producers’ meeting at 11. They discussed the day’s stories and brain-stormed to find new, timely pieces. [...]

First day at Sportsnet down, four more to go.
I started the day with a tour around the Rogers Sportsnet studios in downtown Toronto. I was amazed by how many people worked there – even though at 10:30 a.m. the place is kind of empty. I guess I never realized how much work goes into a [...]

“It’s hit solidly… to the warning track… HOOOME RUN!”
It’s the oldest cliché in the book: salted peanuts, the seventh-inning stretch and the familiar smell of a ballpark. But I make no apologies: ever since I can remember, I’ve been a baseball fan.
And I don’t mean a Yankees bandwagon-jumper. Oh, no. I may indeed have the [...]
Skylines

As my plane flew into Toronto City Center airport, I couldn’t help but feel that the Toronto skyline is beautiful, especially with the red horizon fading into darkness behind it.
The CN tower, Rogers Center and countless high-rises greeted me as my little plane landed in Toronto’s harbor area; my uncle’s apartment is a mere five [...]
A Continuing Saga

According to an article in today’s International Herald Tribune, the United States is looking to Lithuania to house the ten ground-based missile defense interceptors that were planned for Poland. The Polish government is stalling on the plans, the article states.
In my view, if placing missile defense systems in Poland and the Czech Republic caused such [...]
